I had one recently that was Approved and I merged pre-maturely and had to
be reverted: d63638e4654bc6c71a232838b745dec6ef476ec9

Subsequently I have run into some test flakiness, but if a PR submitter has
a pre-checkin failure it could be tricky to tell that its a Flaky
situation... In my last go at a Flaky failure in pre-checkin, I was able to
search the Geode Jira and found the failure was a known flaky like this one
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-6324>

I'd prefer to trust our committers to perform their due diligence and make
good choices.
